Story
Karina was living in a DPW parking lot. This poor baby had three litters of kittens outside, before PAWS could rescue her. She's extremely shy, but now, after a year, enjoys sitting near her loving foster mom, when she works from home. That's encouraging progress! Her best home will be with an experienced cat owner in a quiet home without other pets or children.

Story
Slippery Alma (Alma) would love to be your new friend! At 8yo, Alma, one of our shy kitties, has come out of her shell and is ready to make the move to her forever home. Alma has blossomed in the care of her foster dad and waits by the door for him to get home from work, brightening up when he walks inside and giving him a warm hello. She'll frequently sit on his lap while he reads and likes being close, often lying alongside him, in bed. Alma enjoys caresses and head scratches and will head tap her dad to remind him. She will also rub herself on his legs, her way of saying, 'I like you' - high praise indeed! One of Alma's favorite pastimes is sunbathing and she'll seek out the sunniest spot in the house in which to do so. This laid back, quiet girl is still shy with unfamiliar people and is looking for a patient, loving adopter who will give her time to open up and adjust in her new home. She'll do best in a quiet, calm adult household where she may shine as the only pet. Alma cannot wait to meet you!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I am Stelvia, a beautiful 13-year-old tabby cat rescued from outdoors. I was older and badly needed a dental but I was not ear tipped so I likely was someone's cat long ago, Until last month, anyone who tried to touch me risked being swatted at. My foster parents didn't force me to do anything I wasn't ready for; they let me get used to being around people, talked to me constantly and sneakily started petting me when I was facing the other direction. Their love and patience finally paid off! I DISCOVERED HOW MUCH I LOVE BEING PETTED! I stopped being so afraid when they moved their hands and legs near me! Now, I follow my foster mom around the house, sit next to her and purr for what seems like hours at a time! Who would be the perfect family to adopt me? A quiet pet free, adult household, An experienced pet owner who will be patient with me and understand my quirks - a late night conversationalist and I might still swipe when totally stressed Like many PAWS outdoor rescues, I was found to be FIV+ which is currently in remission, and I am active and have a healthy appetite. Won't you give me the chance to continue making my bond with people stronger than ever? I promise you that I will love you back 110%!

Story
Roxy is a 12 year old sweetheart who has been through rough times the last few years bouncing between homes until she was dropped off at a vet hospital. She has the most incredible purr and loves getting pets and rubs. Unfortunately, she weighs 20 pounds which greatly affects her mobility. We are working on getting her braver, helping her to lose weight, and working with the vets to help her become more mobile.

Story
Spunk and his siblings were found in Weymouth, but are now here with us, seeking their forever homes. Spunk is a kitten with special needs, and as such, needs a special human. Spunk brings so much joy to the faces of anyone who meets him. He can walk, climb, and jump, so don't tell him his back legs don't work properly. He missed that memo. The vet has cleared him for takeoff to his fur-ever home. Do you have it in your heart to welcome this sweet, playful boy?
